[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 468825, member: 6929"] Do viruses come from outer space? (Like all other life, just a couple of days ago instead of a couple billion.) If so, what parts thereof? Bird Of Paradise: It has no feet and never lands. (Later proven to be a well-made forgery by Indonesians, but still cool. Imagine the idea applied to Rocs.) Dinosaurs: Did they survive? (Some think so. In a D&D world it's almost a given, so it's not so cool.) Cryptozoology: An actual division of zoology today, dealing with hunting down species that have not been verified by 'established science'. Previous cryptos include mountain gorillas, giant pandas and the coelacanth. I read a book on it once; I remember the Mongolian spitting worm, which sounded quite nasty. Arthur Conan Doyle: Most people know The Lost World, but fewer know the other Professor Challenger stories. Highlights for this purpose include The Poisoned Ether and The Lands Of Mist. Go find a collection and read them. Madness as demonic possession, or Moon-inspired mind control (from whence we get the word 'lunatic'). Lamarckian evolution: A giraffe has a long neck because many of its ancestors stretched their necks up into the trees. A blacksmith's son has stronger arms because his father exercised those muscles more. (Replaced by Darwin's theories, which is a pity.) What about a game that drives its players to violent madness? (Of course this sounds familiar, but statistically speaking (ergo scientific) it's completely wrong, even the opposite of the truth.) Finally, the Spice Girls were best friends and wrote their own songs. Think of the possibilities for wrongness... [/QUOTE]
